Franken hires a state director

Al Franken, the court-anointed victor in Minnesota's seemingly interminable U.S. Senate race, has taken the first steps toward assembling an office staff.

Someone save this poor young woman from a future of staving off embarassment and pointless controversy. Certainly even working for a window manufacturer would provide sufficient stimulation away fom this clown.

[Happy MN voter]

To bad this article did not get a democratic opinion. Coleman is making a fool of himself and Minnesota. Get a life and get out of MN.

[Lets move on]

I would like to know who is paying for all the court costs involved in this? Colman? Franken? Oh that's right I am.

Al:

Aren't you putting the cart before the horse at this point?

Minnesota deserves Franklin...the same state that elects Jesse the Governor...both Bozos. How can anyone with half of a brain in their head cast ballots like that?!

[Thank you]

The alternative was Coleman. Carrot-Top would even be an improvement over Norm.'Nuff said!

a know a guy who's friends with a girl that works at the law firm of Coleman's lead councel. The talk is Coleman is getting ready to concede under pressure from Governor Pawlenty.

Someone needs to remind Angry Al he is not our Senator. He can say he is and appoint all the people he wants, it doesn't change the fact that he hasn't stolen the election yet and if Coleman and the higher courts have anything to say, he won't.

I hardly call Coleman making a fool of himself when the Election is being hijacked you fool. You damm dumb democrats love this kind of unethical, underhanded methodology. Franken can hire who he want - it will not matter - as soon as this goes to then Supreme Court. As well I would rather pay for this than a damm wasteful "Stimulus Package."

Liberalism is a mental disturbance.

We happen to have a lot in common. I also know guy that knows a girl. Get back to Topix when your crystal ball clears.

Senator Franken should continue his search for gifted people to serve on his staff. Former Senator Coleman will continue investing republican money to buy an election. Unfortunately, the court will be bogged down with this mess at a time when there are so many serious matters needing attention.
Democrats of Ohio and Florida will attest to the fact that republicans manipulated elections in their states by improper allocation of voting equipment that caused long waiting periods in democratic areas and short waiting periods in republican areas. It would be unfortunate for the state of Minnesota and the nation if the republicans are able to manipulate the outcome of this election which Al Franken won by 312 votes.

Lose the republican sponsered fear or stick your head back in the sand and scream for mommy! Try reading non-fiction. Better yet, turn on American idol. It's more educational than listening to Limbaugh.

You are the second person I've encountered online this week who doesn't seem to understand the definition of liberal or liberalism.
The term "liberal" merely encompasses any political philosophy that leans toward the non-regulation of something. Many political theories promoted by Republicans are very liberal in nature. Free trade, the right to own guns without restrictions, the right to let the market correct itself without government instrusion - these are just a few examples of liberal ideology in practice, and ones frequently promoted by Republicans. If you don't believe me, feel free to educate yourself:

If you truly believe that liberalism is a "mental disturbance," it would appear that you don't believe in many of the individual rights granted in our Constitution. Perhaps you prefer communism instead?

[Wake up]

Franken has no legal authority to hire anyone at this point - the correct message here is that Franken issued a press release stating he wishes he could hire someone...

It would be even worse for the state of Minnesota if Angry Al and the states corrupt Demthuglicrats were able to manipulate the outcome of this election by 312 votes.

You still can't get over Algore not being able to steal the Presidential election can you. You must still be crying over Kerry losing by even more when his getting elected was supposed to be a slam dunk, not unlike the predictions for Angry Al.

Chew on this for awhile, if it hadn't been for Dean Barkley drawing votes away from Coleman, Angry Al would be back writing rape jokes in New York right now instead of pretending to be Senator and delaying Coleman taking his rightfully elected spot back in the Senate.
